Aged Gouda, one of the world's most sought-after cheeses, has been made in the Netherlands for over 800 years. Beemster makes theirs in North Holland, where the grazing land is pure and lush. Easy to distinguish, it is the dairy world's equivalent of a Rembrandt or Van Gogh. This edible opus magnum has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by an intense flavor with a sweet finish. The transformation that mild, somewhat ordinary Gouda undergoes during its aging process is simply amazing. Aged Gouda has many layers of nuanced flavor, and its texture lends itself well to shredding or chunking.

Beemster's production is located in Northern Holland, famous for its rich milk and fertile grazing land. Discover one of the world's dairy masterpieces.

Why American's prefer cheddar is a mystery. In contrast, this is cheese ;-)

Uh-Uh

This was aged alright. This was the first time I;ve ever eaten crunchy cheese. The flavor was good, but that's about all I can say for it.

Awesome

I served this at a holiday open house and my guests just kept coming back for more. The color and texture are fabulous. The taste is unbelievably magnificent. I will continue to order this cheese which is not available in our small market.

Buy the cheese, but skip the insulated bag.

The cheese is always great. I buy it for gifts. But every time I buy the insulated bag, it always comes with the lining riped.

OMG

This is a phenomenal cheese. The flavor and texture are exquisite! It is harder than we had expected, which makes it a bit difficult to slice for a cheese board, etc. That's unfortunate, because this tastes so wonderful that it should stand alone, rather than being used in a recipe. Wow.
